Hello beauties!How are you?I, for the last past month, am hooked by a Care Cream, as written in the package, that I have never seen before in shops or given it a second look if seen.And that is a mistake we, consumers, often make. We are impressed by big campaigns, fancy new products and high prices, which are excellent of course, forgetting that there are other brands making quality products with equally good raw materials but less expensive.One of those brands is, the new to me, S'nonas.It is a Spanish brand by Arom S.A.Today I will talk to you about a cream that I first laid eyes on at Beauty Greece in Athens.S'nonas Skin Care Cream

This whitish glycerin based cream is so smooth and hydrating like very few I have tried in the past.Especially now, during summer, vacation, sea, salt, this cream has proven to be an ideal skin savior.

It has a thick slippery texture that surprisingly applies like a velvet dream.You can feel the moisture penetrating your skin transforming it into a glossy, not greasy, & healthy one.Contains glycerin which provides intense hydration and protection to the sensitive skin.It smells like cream & roses and the smell is slightly intense but to my surprise I do not mind at all. Its price is very low for the quality which makes it a great bargain!You can check it at Lamar Hellas or lamarhellas@yahoo.grand ask for further information.Have you tried this brand before? What do you think of it?As always,stay healthy & beautifulxxx

Even though it is not dry oil, it is very lightweight and
dries quite fast.

It nourishes, illuminates and transforms your skin into a
glowing one. Especially now, at summer, when the weather is hot and we trouble
our skin with extra waxing, shaving, skin exposure, sunbaths, and sea water, we need to
give extra care.

It is great to be applied after your bath all over your body
to really feel the moisture but also apply it on your legs at an evening out
wearing your short summer dress making them look glowing and very Jennifer
Lopez!

You can find it at the supermarkets & department stores.Have you tried it? Which is your favorite body oil?

Hello my beauties!How are you doing?I know some of you already had their first swim on the hot beaches of Greece!I hope I will in the next days during Easter vacation...!So as the weather is getting hotter and hotter many things keep popping in our heads such as sun protection, oil free, long lasting, color, coverage and other stressful words!As many of you have noticed, BB creams are popping out like crazy!!Today I will talk to you about Garnier Ambre Solaire BB cream*.

You all know and most of us love the classic Garnier BB creme but this one comes from a different series.It says it provides sun protection for the face & neck, with a very important SPF30, illuminates your skin, evens out any imperfections, hydrates and has an anti-dark spots formulation.Personally, I think that it feels a lot like a sunscreen than a bb cream, which means it is a little heavy, at least for my combination skin.It has a decent coverage, certainly evens out my skin and it takes at least 5 minutes to dries on your skin before you set it with powder, which is something I think you must do with this bb cream.

It comes out in one color as you see in the picture which is quite dark and difficult to match all skin colors, but you can blend it really really well and set it with lighter or darker powder.

Before I started using this bb cream, I was wearing the classic Garnier bb cream for combination skin but as I had bought it during winter in the shade light, now it is a little light for me.Sooooo the thing I started doing is mixing the two Garnier bb creams and guess what.It gives the perfect color, an extra SPF protection and evenness!I would certainly recommend this bb cream for those with drier skin and wanting to look flawless on the beach! Actually yes. I now think that it is a Beach BB cream not a City BB Cream as the first one.But I am really happy with the result so I think I found my everyday summer bb cream!Well, that's it from me.Have you tried this bb cream? What do you think?As alwaysstay healthy & beautifulxxx*PR sample

But even though I adore the sun and its glowing effect on my skin.......

we all have learned by now that it is not good for our skin. Not good at all....

We have figured out many many ways to "cheat" the sun effects on our skin and this is exactly what we were discussing with my very good friend Vicky and she just happened to have the most brilliant idea ever!

She would review her new bronzing gel for my blog and all you!

Let's hear it straight from her!

"Hi everyone!

My name is Vicky and today I will be sort of a "guest lecturer" in Laoura's Beauty Blog. The reason for this, is that I tried a certain product and wanted to share it with everyone else.

I am talking, of course, about Guerlain's Fresh Bronzing Gel, from the Terracotta series.

It is not a foundation, not a self tanner, and not a primer. It is pure magic, in my opinion!

There are two ways to use it.

First, you can apply it on your face (or neck, arms, and wherever you wish) by itself and achieve a beautifully bronzed skin tone and a healthy glow. This is great for the months of summer, when we usually don't need heavy coverage.

Second, you can combine it with a foundation of your choice and apply it on top of it. You still achieve the bronzed skin tone and the glow, but now your face looks flawless and healthy.

It is extremely light and easy to use. Due to its gel-like texture you hardly feel like you have anything on, but it stays in place for several hours.

There is also a bit of sunscreen there, which is always good.

As a downside, it is a bit expensive so keep an eye out for sales and offers! At least, that is how I got it and I haven't regretted it at all.

Thank you for your time, and a special thank you to Laoura, for letting me use her wonderful blog!"

How are you spending your days? Are you doing something special? Do tell!

Today I will talk to you about an event I went to, not very
long ago at AVON Headquarters in
Athens.

They invited 40 beauty bloggers in order to present the
already world known AVON, show us their new products, inform us about the best
sellers and most importantly walk us through the fundraising campaigns they are running as a company.

I am sure that all of you are familiar with AVON.

It is a brand who’s been around since 1886 and founded by
David McConnell in the United States. There are about 6,4 million Avon
Representatives in more than 100 countries. That says a lot, don’t you think?

During the presentation, they showed us new products that
are about to be released and classic best sellers, some of which were given for
a try.

Since 1955, Avon Foundation has helped millions of women
through information, updates, prevention. They offer over 850 million dollars
in more than 50 countries for education, diagnosis, support and scientific
research.

Here in Greece, Avon is a true supporter of the Greek Cancer
Society and together they have managed the sponsorship as well as the purchase
and operation of a mobile mammography unit art.

The mobile mammography unit began its precious journey in
Greece in April 2010 and since then they have performed over 14.500 free
digital mammograms!

Everyone can help support and expand this action by
purchasing some special Avon Products such as the Pink Calendar.

This campaign launched in 2004 in the United States. Through
educational programs, prevention and information, they support mostly women and
their families who suffer from Domestic Violence.

Avon Greece with the cooperation of WIN Hellas, they finance
educational seminars within the families suffering from this, focusing mostly
on the children affected in order to stop the cycle of violence.

This campaign is supported through the sales of products
empowered such as the Empowerment
Necklace.

“Avon Hello Green Tomorrow is mobilizing a global
environment movement to nurture nature and help end deforestation”.

With mottos like “Helping Protect Forest Worldwide” &
“Paper is a sustainable Resource” they are trying to unite people, educate them
and mobilize them to do good and give back in this important cause.

Help Avon protect the Forests can make a huge difference in
the world we live in.

Selections of special fundraising products have been
creating in order to expand the life and the purpose of this campaign such as
the Green Bag.
